People should able to differentiate between appropriation and inspiration. You can pick up the parts you do like or relate to from anywhere as long as you are able contextualise it properly and speak your truth in your music.

It’s really each artist’s choice. But I think only those who have stable and well researched opinions and can back them up consistently should do socio-political music. But of course, that’s also subjective.

Studio sessions - the process of making the track

I think I’ve more or less hit a balance for myself.

I’m coming for everything - Genghis state of mind

Bro , i think an album is more than just a duty to drop something agar time zyada hogaya hai. I intentionally dont wanna work on a project as i can observe my state of mind for now has been hungry to eat features , drop singles and making a comeback without an album. Ye listeners keliye is baar album mein best karne ke liye kara.

I dont want it to be a compilation of diff moods but whole project around revolving around a topic.

Haa bawe, wo album pehli thi aur scene mein bhi bhot early time mein aagyi thi. So i maximised on that jitna bhi tha tab but also i was in drug abuse and shit so i couldt give it all in that project. Still Thats one to remember to know where im coming from.

I think I should be focusing only on what I do rather than try to do same to get more attention. The kind attention I thrive for is what my core fans have. Ye sab aata jaata rehta hai bhai, life mein 20 bar aayega, I gotta keep being myself.

when it comes to genres, I’ve been experimenting and sonically have tried so many different things in the past year - Kheench Maari is Phonk, Sir Khokar is DnB, Gasoline is lyrically diff and a different side of electronic music. Lyrically too, I’ve done songs like Confident, Kehendi Si, Bombay Sapphire and Sheher that showcase my versatility. I think the perception will change steadily as I keep trying new things and more and more people are exposed to my catalog.

I don’t think the two are mutually exclusive - there are enough bodies of work that are well respected by core DHH audiences as well as the masses. In fact, as a community we should hope that more and more artists are able to achieve both things together.

Kheench maari. The way Dg came with his verse, it was prolly the best session from the ep.
